Reviews

" A modern patchwork family and their concerns, which are remote from ordinary petrol light years. That is the focus "Kokowääh 2" with the usual Til Schweiger ingredients. Somehow in his films always summer, the light is golden, the people are relaxed. His family is hip, you do not say sneakers, but Chucks, also contributes heat cool beanie. A carpet of contemporary music amplifies emotions that chic rooms where the beautiful people are staying, perfectly lit. Problems are discussed mannered macchiato at the cafe with a young mothers are spindly, perfectly made and rested. Breiflecken on the trendy t-shirt act as a fun accessory. All this would not make an American high gloss film for accusation - that's why I do not do it even with Til Schweiger. His comedies regularly attract millions of viewers in the movie theaters, [ ... ] provide records to make people happy - whether critics write that the story was predictable and the actors not at the peak of their art. Til Schweiger always manages to pack in a German dreams only apparent problem. Pretty pretty packed. Each would have liked such a beautiful loft, these cute daughter with white teeth and would like to celebrate without on a film party with guests above. Schweiger's daughter Emma is also ten years old still cute, such a brat you can forgive her mumbling and grimacing. "

" " The Same Procedure As Last Time? " "The Same Procedure As Every Time ... " Taking "Kokowääh 2 " as an independent film itself, and if one ignores "Kokowääh 1", " Rabbit Without Ears " and " Zweiohrküken ", then you could probably say, " What a sweet, harmless cute German comedy. " There were the other three films but before - and that is a problem for "Kokowääh 2 ". Again Til Schweiger in one of his own films as haphazard, but of course extremely good-looking, lovable slob. Again ( for the fourth time! ) His daughter Emma in the " child's main role " of the film. The main female characters [ ... ] are pretty women, no matter how stupid does with the great intellect and autonomy, but not to him ( Til ) resist really is. The stories are then more compounds from these character - building blocks: the slob is poised to squander the most wonderful woman in the world. The child is sassy, ​​cute and smart. The Slob brings everything to collapse, accompanied by everyday gags like burnt food or babies who pee on one on the changing table. And in the end he must then ruefully the shards kitten, smile at the end until all the final image. The camera work is always " in person ", always close to the characters, see the Set- devices work in a mixture of Swedish furniture store and wanted cooler industrial modernity. The colors are always pastel tones. Sun rays shine through dreamy industrial glass - and if Til with a little boat cruises around somewhere, then of course he has to a straw hat on and looks in the soft light of sunset like Huckleberry Finn. Such films can be done, no question, there is certainly an audience for it. Yet! Because at least with "Three -Nose- cat " or "Kokowääh 3, 4 or 5" is also a growing proportion of moviegoers noted that a bottom line here always the same reheated food is prefixed with a modified set. And then the step is done in boredom. Handwriting yes, but it is in the case of Til Schweiger time again around for a new theme, a new role for himself and for actors to him that we have not seen in any of his last comedies. "

" Peeing babies, men in mid-life crisis, love girls, jealousy and raising children - that is the mixture of the in " Kokowääh2 " the jokes are, the main character, writer and director Til Schweiger processed for the sequel to his hit film. For some may be getting used to this humor, for Schweiger he is not, so it seems. The success proves him right. [ ... ] Til Schweiger film formula is simple and it works beautifully for his comedy " Rabbit Without Ears ". The main ingredient is himself, because Schweiger and his fans like it when the future crime scene staged Commissioner in his favorite role as vulnerable macho. In addition, it takes only mass-compatible wit and a few of his many friends in supporting roles. [ ... ] " Kokowääh2 " meets all expectations and fears that you can have a movie by Til Schweiger. It provides educational tips and relationship issues with a happy ending, in which all participants dance in slow motion to sweet music at Wannsee in Berlin. Til Schweiger is fond of saying that his films are not candidates for prices and have also lost at festivals little to nothing. In Schweiger's focus is on the mass, not the class. Best conditions that also "Kokowääh 2 " will be a success. However, a superior film, he is not therefore. "

" Til Schweiger can be anything - be brief frantic. Like its predecessor, " Kokowääh" takes the continuation over two hours. In some scene perhaps you ask yourself: Why? [ ... ] But that's complaining on a high level. In fact, "Kokowääh 2 " no dull moment and even more proof that Schweiger like no one can tell stories that have heart and humor. Who is looking for all around fun distraction for two hours, as a couple or with the whole family, which is just right in this movie. "

" Kokowääh 2 ' was like warm rosé. Colourless, tepid, not tingles and makes headaches. [ ... ] There's a quote from, Bang Boom Bang ', which fits well to Henry aka Schweiger: 90 minutes! Only I! I'm the coolest! '. Still some statistics: Stolen quotes there again [ ... ] and a lot of average error. "
